Using an open-flame oven, the restaurant turns out such classic pies as the margherita and sausage with wild mushrooms, plus some tasty variations, including a “Colorado pizza” with bison sausage and green chiles.

This is fast-casual Neapolitan pie, and the concept is backed by Consumer Capital Partners, which is also behind Smashburger and Tom’s Urban 24 in Denver.

Live Basil’s other two Mile High shops are at 6305 E. Hampden Ave. and 10320 Federal Blvd. They’re open daily 11 a.m.-10 p.m., so there’s plenty of time to pie one on.
